Why have the BBC bothered to put on a programme like the Big Personality Test...

if they can't even get the website working properly. It wasn't working last night either. Has anyone actually managed to do the personality test?

I've been trying for the past half an hour!

pathetic isn't it? They're always banging on about cross media coverage and they can't even get enough servers to support their website.

wanted to do it tonight - but down 'due to high demand'

I've done those tests before, they've done IQ ones (I think Anne Robinson presented it) and the websites were fine, have they just got a couple of ZX Spectrum's running this website?

I thought it was an interesting follow up to the Child of our time series. I'm more interested to see how they are doing than to work out what sort of personality I have (think I am old enough to have worked that one out by now ).

No no nonot ZX Spectrus the old BBC computers ! ( OMG I remember programming then at college doing my BTEC in computer science)

Yes, I did it this afternoon. I tried last night after the programme finished but I guess there were too many other people trying to access it then. I had no trouble getting on to it this pm.

My results were hilarious too.

I would iek to know whether the job I did for nearly 20 yrs was the right one !

I know what you mean MollieO but I'm curious and want to know more about personality traits in the context of how I answer the questions.

A test with the same categories is on FB

SilveryMoon · 31/05/2010 22:24

Yep, I just did the fb one and it was also pretty spot on

WilfShelf · 31/05/2010 22:34

I've done it

Give em a break: millions of people will have logged on at same time. Even Google and Twitter and Facebook can't cope with that...

Recorded the programme and watched last night. TBH the test results bored me silly, I know what type I am and don't give a stuff if the English are more eccentric than the Welsh. I fast forwarded through all the test bits just to catch up on what all the children were doing.

BooTooYou... some of it was really moving. I really teared up when Alison Lapper was talking about her little boy and how fearful he was a lot of the time. What a sweet little boy! And the really prem one (Helena I think) what an amazing fighter she is and how lovely she's turned out.

Agree with you BooToYouToo unfortunately I can't fast forward on my tv!
